Supplementation of bovine follicular fluid during in vitro maturation increases oocyte cumulus expansion, blastocyst developmental kinetics and blastocyst cell number.
No full textBovine follicular fluid (bFF) is the natural milieu for oocyte growth and development. However, its value as supplementation to in vitro maturation medium is still questioned due to inconsistent results. In this study we hypothesized that adding 10% of follicular fluid as well as heat treating it to inhibit the complement system, would produce higher quality embryos. To do so, experiments were conducted to compare the effect of bFF and heat-treated bFF (bFFin) on oocyte competence assessed by different parameters such as nuclear and cytoplasmic maturation, IVF efficiency, in vitro embryo development and embryo survivability post-vitrification. No differences on nuclear maturation nor cortical granules migration were observed but differences were found on oocyte’s cumulus cell expansion, with bFF group having the highest increase (79.0±3.7%). bFFin had a negative impact on IVF efficiency (58.6±3.2%), but no differences were found between bFF (62.9±3.2%) and control (72.8±3.0%). Although the cleavage and blastocyst rate were similar between groups, the day 6 embryo development rate was higher in bFFin group, suggesting an accelerated developmental kinetics. Hatched blastocysts from the bFF group showed a higher cell count than the control group (241.3±20.1 and 185.8± 10.0, respectively), and bFFin embryos showed values in between (214.9±14.0). No difference on survivability post-vitrification was found between groups, although the blastocyst stage had a significant impact on the survival rate across all groups. In conclusion, using bFF as supplementation to maturation medium showed a higher benefit when comparing to the standard supplementation by having oocytes with higher cumulus expansion rate, faster development of embryos and higher number of cells per embryo. Inactivation of bFF lowered IVF efficiency but didn’t compromise blastocyst development and quality.Horizon 2020 Marie Sklodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network (REPBIOTECH675526); Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness (Spain) (AGL2015-66341-R MINECO-FEDER) and Fundación Séneca (20040/GERM/16
Ivo Pilar and Progressivism
No full textAutor se u članku bavi ranijim razdobljem Pilarove karijere u namjeri da pokaže kako je njegov životni put višeslojan i ne može se jednostrano ocijeniti kao što je to slučaj u mnogim dosadaπnjim radovima. U početnom dijelu rada osvrnuo se na njegovo obiteljsko okruženje i intelektualno oblikovanje tijekom studija u Beču, kada je pripadao modernistički usmjerenoj mladeži koja se uglavnom
priklonila naprednjačkoj ideologiji. Premda se do odlaska u Bosnu i Hercegovinu samo rubno osvrtao na politička pitanja, očito je da se Pilar u tom razdoblju kritički odnosio prema držanju hrvatske političke elite, držeći da ona zbog svog tradicionalizma ne razumije suvremene probleme društva. U tom smislu odbacivao je i političku doktrinu Stranke prava kao besplodni nacionalizam. Na temelju slabo korištenih i novootkrivenih dokumenata jasno je da je Pilar s
nekim drugim pripadnicima pokreta moderne i tijekom boravka u Sarajevu nastavio promišljati u naprednjačkom duhu. Prekretnicu označavaju duboke promjene na hrvatskoj političkoj sceni, kad se osniva Hrvatska pučka napredna stranka, koja je iz taktičkih razloga vezanih uz suradnju sa srpskim političarima zanemarila raspravu o Bosni i Hercegovini, što je po Pilaru bilo neprihvatljivo jer se time išlo u prilog srpskom nacionalizmu. Na kraju članka uvršteni su
izvorni prilozi.In the paper the author deals with an earlier period of Pilar’s career in
order to show the multifarious character of his life’s journey which cannot be judged from a single perspective as was the case in numerous works to date. In the first part of the paper the author dwells on Pilar’s family life and intellectual evolution in the course of his studies in Vienna, where he joined a group of young people advocating modernism and mostly inclined toward a progressive ideology. Although until his departure for Bosnia and Herzegovina he only marginally dealt with political issues, it is evident that at that time Pilar had a critical view of the Croatian politic elite, convinced that due to its conservatism it did not understand contemporary societal problems. In that sense he discarded the political doctrine of the Party of Right as fruitless nationalism. On the basis of some rarely used and newly discovered documents it has become evident that Pilar, along with some other followers of the Modernist movement, continued to deliberate in the spirit of Progressivism during his stay in Sarajevo. The turning point was marked by the deep changes that took place on Croatia’s political scene with the establishment of the Croatian Popular Progressive Party, which for tactical reasons that were linked to cooperation with Serbian politicians, neglected the discourse on Bosnia and Herzegovina, something that was unacceptable to Pilar because in that way support was given to Serbian nationalism. The concluding part of the article contains original contributions
Contribution of Immigration to Adolescent Fertility in Spain Considering the Reproductive Pattern in the Country of Origin
No full textAdolescent fertility displays a trend that does not follow-and even runs contrary to-the general temporal fertility pattern. Multiple factors determine this trend, including socioeconomic conditions and cultural patterns at both immigrants place of origin of and their destination. This article analyzes adolescent fertility in Spain with regard to country of maternal origin using records of deliveries (1980-2008) and information from countries with high immigration rates to Spain. After 1980, deliveries to adolescents diminished; after 1996, only Spanish-born adolescents continued this downward trend, but not immigrants. The factors responsible for these differences are diverse and related to the characteristics of the immigrants themselves, in addition to the situation of immigrants in the Spanish context.Fil: Colantonio, Sonia Edith.

Ivo Pilar and Robert William Seton-Watson: two Political Viewpoints on the Southern Slav Question
No full textIn this article, the author compares the viewpoints of Ivo Pilar and
R. W. Seton-Watson, two brilliant publicists, on the South Slav Question as the
key problem in southeast Europe in the period up to 1918. He shows how
before the First World War both sought a solution to this complex problem,
particularly the aspect of Croat-Serb relations, exclusively within the framework
of the Habsburg Monarchy. The difference between them lay in the fact that
Pilar sought to affirm Croatian statehood, while Seton-Watson to create a new
Yugoslav statehood. During the war, Seton-Watson held the view that it was
necessary to establish an independent Yugoslav state outside the Monarchy in
order to solve the Yugoslav question, but Pilar cemented his standpoint that the
Monarchy was the only possible solution for Croatian interests
Dr. Ivo Pilar — A Lawyer in Tuzla (1905-1920)
No full textNa temelju arhivskoga gradiva kotarskog suda u Tuzli i dostupne literature,
autor opisuje i analizira Pilarovu odvjetničku djelatnost u Tuzli. Svega par
godina nakon otvaranja ureda u Tuzli (1905.) Pilar je uspio organizirati najveći
odvjetnički ured u tom gradu, koji se u prvom redu bavi građanskim i
trgovačkim pravom. Dostupni podatci pokazuju da od sredine Prvoga svjetskog
rata dolazi po postupnog smanjenja djelatnosti njegova ureda, što ukazuje na to,
da Pilara sve intenzivnije zaokuplja druga problematika. Također se pokazuje da
je njegov ured u Tuzli konačno utrnuo tek 1921., nekoliko mjeseci nakon
njegova preseljenja u Zagreb.The author analyses the law practice of Dr. Ivo Pilar in Tuzla (1905-1920)
and bases his analysis upon accessible archive material, contemporary
journalism and published materials. The archive material reveals that —
according to the number of documents as well as the number, i. e. the
structure of Pilar's collaborators — Pilar's law office was the most
developed in Tuzla after only several years. In Tuzla Pilar practised law
until 1920, but certain documents show that even in the first half of 1921
his office was not entirely closed. During those fifteen years, Pilar
predominantly dealt with civil and commercial law, representing numerous
physical and legal persons from both Tuzla and its surrounding area as well
as from other parts of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. While doing so, he
also earned considerable income. Owing to that income and numeous
collaborators, Pilar could devote significant time to his intellectual work,
and, in part, to the direct participation in the political struggle. Since the
middle of World War I a standstill — even a decrease in the intensity of his
law practice — could be noticed. This could be partly ascribed to the war,
while, in part, it must have been due to his intensive work on treatises and
books that represent the central part of his oeuvre. For Pilar, the demise of
the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy and the establishment of the Kingdom of
Serbs, Croats and Slovenes meant the breakdown of his political plans and
visions. He was severely stricken by those events also in terms of his
profession. Having become most disliked by the regime, Pilar lost the best
part of his property and feared for his own life. Thus, during 1920 he made
preparations for moving his office to Zagreb
Las herencias emocionales en el proceso de madurez de Pilar en Soñar en cubano, de Cristina García
No full textThis paper aims to analyze Dreaming in Cuban as a coming of age text, in which the maturing process is determined by self-awareness as well as the accumulation of emotional capital. Using a theoretical framework of affects and emotions, the author identifies the emotional
legacies received by the main character to show this contradiction is transformed into emotional capital. It is shown how this transformation is possible by choosing empathy as the pivotal point of the emotional structure, and how it is through the social value given to empathy in this historic moment, that the protagonist can mature, while restoring family ties.Este artículo analiza el proceso de madurez de la protagonista de Soñar en cubano desde la perspectiva de la teoría de los afectos. Asume la madurez como un proceso de autorreconocimiento de la experiencia emocional y acumulación de capital emocional. Para este ejercicio resulta fundamental identificar cómo opera la confusión que le genera a la joven recibir una herencia emocional llena de contradicciones y cómo es capaz de transformar la tensión en capital emocional. Con este propósito, se señalan los vínculos entre procesos de madurez, emociones y herencias emocionales que recibe la joven. Por último, se señala la elección de la empatía como centro de su estructura emocional que posibilita la solución de su confusión a través de la reconstrucción del tejido familiar, y resulta ser una decisión históricamente pertinente
Projecte de Restauració de la pedrera "Pujà de la Llacuna" al T.M. de Vilallonga
No full textLes explotacions mineres comporten un impacte amb una degradació
important del paisatge. La major part de les activitats extractives que
desenvolupa l'home són agresives per a la naturalesa.
És per això que es fa necessari, dins de la mesura del possible,
conservar i condicionar els terrenys que s'han vist afectats per l'activitat minera, a fi d'arribar a un equilibri entre el desenvolupament econòmic i la mateixa preservació dels valors naturals de la zona.
En definitiva, la finalitat d'aquest projecte és la rehabilitació del lloc
afectat, és a dir, realitzar les accions oportunes perque torne a ser útil o
habitable, amb un grau de productivitat o utilitat d'acord amb uns objectius que prèviament s'han fixat com a fi. La solució proposada en el present projecte de restauració està justificada degut a l'estat d'abandó en que han quedat els terrenys on s'han dut a terme els treballs d'extracció .Doménech Fuster, MP.
